If you want to prepare an appetizing and incredibly tasty dish for the festive table, I suggest frying the hen in salt. The cooking process is very simple and fast, but who can do it. Due to the fact that we will cook chicken in salt, we will get crispy and pink chicken. It is the salt that draws all the moisture out of the skin, the juice is tightly closed inside the bird, and even the brisket will be incredibly juicy and tender. We do not add salt to the chicken itself during cooking, we put a sprig of thyme for taste, and we put an orange inside the chicken. The finished chicken is moderately salty, tender and fragrant. You can Chicken with any vegetables or homemade pickles, herbs and sauces.

6. Cook the hen for 1.5 hours. After a while, remove the chicken and let stand for 15-20 minutes so that the juice is evenly distributed and the chicken is juicy. If you cut the chicken immediately, it will release the juice and be dry. Do not beat the chicken during cooking, otherwise it will also be dry. Serve the prepared chicken to the table.
